Summary

[edit]
Description

1850..
CUNNINGTON LOWER GREENSAND AT SEEND.
453
additional information from the same gentleman who forwarded me
the marl in the first instance.
The upper peat averages about twelve inches in thickness. The
white marl runs about fifteen inches thick ; but in some places it is
nearly five feet thick. The black peat under the marl varies from
three to seven feet in thickness ; and under it is said to lie a blue soft
clay. This formation extends about two miles on the west, and 1^^
mile on the east of the railway, and for about seven miles in length.
June 19, 1850.
The following communications were read : —
I. On a Section of the Lower Greensand at Seend, near
Devizes. By William Cunnington, Esq.
.Communicated by Joseph Prestwich, jun., Esq., F.G.S..
Having during the past winter made some observations on the sec-
tions exposed in the cutting of the road, at Seend, near Devizes, I
now send you the result. I feel it important that this information
should be recorded, or it will be altogether lost ; the section having
already been for some time covered up.
The cutting was not more than twelve feet deep. It exhibited the
Lower Greensand reposing unconformably on Kimmeridge clay. The
following is a detail of the stratification : —
1 . Kimmeridge clay, having at the top masses of imperfect limestone,
or septaria, bored by the Lithodomus shells of the lower green-
sand; the shells themselves being preserved in situ, and the
holes filled up with the ferruginous sand.
2. Masses of imperfect, gravelly sandstone and sand, not very ferru-
ginous, containing pebbles of quartz, &c. and numerous fossils.
3. Dark green and brown sands.
4. Iron sandstone, with fossils.
5. Yellowish sand.
6. Iron sandstone.
7. Sands, &c.
The whole surmounted with a patch of yellow, brashy clay of a few
acres in extent.
Section from Seend to Devizes.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
